AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a novel numerical method for flows simulations.
Compared with classic methods of Finite Difference Method, Finite Volume Method and Finite
Element Method, LBM has numerous advantages, including inherent parallelization and simplicity
of boundary condition treatment. The LBM usually has a constraint of incompressible fluid (Mach
number less than 0.4). A variant of the LBM is studied and used to deal with compressible fluid
with Mach number up to 0.9 in this paper. Special emphasis is placed on mesh generation of 3-D
complete geometry in Cartesian coordinate system. Numerical experiments are fulfilled in 2-D
and 3-D compressible flows. Performance evaluation of the algorithm demonstrates high parallel
efficiency and prefect scalability. Numerical results indicate that the LBM is successful with the
simulation of compressible fluid.</p>
